18	* IWillPunishYourFriendForYourFailure: [[spoiler:For his participation in Seris's rebellion, Agrona punished the entirety of his extended family.

34	----
35	* {{Ambadassador}}: Following [[spoiler:Seris's retreat to Dicathen, Caera stays not with her mentor but rather the war council that Arthur has formed as Seris's personal envoy (even if the dragons cannot stand her that much).

Unfortunately for her, when Bairon attempts to bring word of her arrival to Arthur, the latter's attention was instead distracted by the recent summon he had received from the Hearth which he gave priority to instead. This led to Arthur being stuck in the aether realm for two months in order to resurrect Sylvie. Making matters worse was that the week after Arthur went into the aether realm, Kezess sent his forces down to Dicathen to occupy it as part of his deal with Arthur. Predictably, the Indrath did not treat Caera very kindly during her incarceration. All in all, Caera spent far more time languishing in prison than she should have due to an unfortunate turn of events]].
46	* MistakenForSpies: [[spoiler:After barely escaping to Dicathen unscathed in order to enlist Arthur's aid for Seris's rebellion, Caera gets rescued from her pursuers by Bairon. However, given his admittedly justifiable suspicions about her claims, Bairon doesn't buy that Caera is telling the truth and has her taken into custody. It is not until Arthur returns that he is able to order her for release]].
47	* MoralityChain: She is the reason alongside Regis that prevents Arthur from Losing his sanity and empathy toward Alacrya in fact because of her his hatred for the Alacryans have subsided and make him focusing his anger on the Vritra and Indrath clan also Arthur considers her a true friend to him.

56	* TokenHeroicOrc: [[spoiler: She is one of the Alacryans who were close to Arthur during his stay in Alacrya also she has no interest in the war with Dicathen knowing it is only self serving goals to Agrona as she sees how much of toll it took on Grey later she particaptes in a rebellion orchestrated by Seris Vrita against Agrona.]]
57	* UndyingLoyalty: To Seris, who she views as her mentor figure. Also to Arthur himself as in spite of him lying to her about his past and later having to be CruelToBeKind to her to fulfill his plan to [[spoiler:acquire the final keystone]], her loyalty to him remains unshaken.

118	* NiceJobBreakingItHero: {{Invoked}}. He calls out [[spoiler:Arthur and his entourage for attempting to assassinate Exeges, for even though they weren't the ones to do it, his death allowed Agrona to galvanize the populace of Alacrya back to his side and hammer the final nail into the coffin for Seris's rebellion]].

165	[[folder:Director Ramseyer]]
166	The Headmaster of Central Academy.
167	----
168	* IWillPunishYourFriendForYourFailure: A big example of this. He may not have been aware of Arthur's true identity, but his act of hiring him and giving him support during his stay in Alacrya is enough for [[spoiler:Agrona to punish all of Highblood Ramseyer once Arthur's identity is revealed. That, and also his granddaughter Augustine's failure to hold Xyrus against Arthur, earns the director a one-way trip to the frontlines once Agrona gives his final order despite being an eighty-year old man far past his prime]].
169	[[/folder]]
170
171	[[folder:Janus Graeme]]
172	One of the foremost researchers at Central Academy.
173	----
174	* BullyingADragon: When Arthur ends up in the camp he was stationed at in Vechor during the Siege of Vildorial, Janus attempts to calm down his troops by saying that Arthur is barely clinging on to life. He is proven horribly wrong as Arthur proceeds to unleash the full power of the Destruction Godrune and obliterate everyone inside that camp.
175	* {{Foreshadowing}}: When Arthur is being shown around Central Academy, the clerk giving him the tour mentions that Graeme is "a bit, well...''harsh''" which hints at his collusion with the Granbehls and him becoming a thorn in Arthur's side during his time at the academy.
176	* MeaningfulName: Sharing a name with the two-faced god of doors and portals from Myth/ClassicalMythology indicates that Janus is a metaphorically two-faced person and not one to be trusted.
177	[[/folder]]
178
179	[[folder:Seth Milview]]
180	Circe's brother.
181	----
182	* AbandonedWarChild: An unorthodox example in that he is a child made neglected by the war rather than being a byproduct of it. Seth's sister Circe was called away to join their invasion force in Dicathen. Following her death in completing her mission, both of his parents moved to Elenoir as newly-elevated Highbloods to govern the Alacryan colony. Seth was left completely alone in his studies at Central Academy. Then his parents end up being getting killed when [[spoiler:they get caught up in the destruction of Elenoir when Aldir uses the World Eater technique on the kingdom]], leaving Seth completely alone in the world.
183	* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Like his teacher, Seth hated the Dicathians as the people whom his sister Circe had died fighting against as she had [[spoiler:died to successfully complete her mission to map out the enchanted elven forest, enabling the Alacryan invasion of Elenoir]]. However, thanks to Arthur's influence and guidance, Seth comes to the same realization as him that the other side [[spoiler:are as much victims of the DivineConflict as his own side]].
184	-->'''Seth:''' (''To Eleanor'') Professor Grey...Um, Arthur...your brother...he was the first person who made me feel seen, like I was worth something, since Circe died. Like someone actually cared. And then I learn he's not even ''from'' this continent. It really knocked me for a loop, you know?
185	* BystanderActionHorrorDissonance: It is from Seth's perspective that [[spoiler:Agrona's VillainOverride over Seris and her rebellion is witnessed. Seth is helpless to watch as Agrona makes examples of people he knows such as Lauden and Sulla and forces Seris and her supporters back to his side for the final assault, himself included. After being reunited with Mayla, the two of them are sent to the frontlines in Vildorial where they are compelled to fight on the pain of meeting the same fate, in the process being embroiled by the senseless carnage Agrona has thrown them into]].
186	* CainAndAbel: Thanks to Arthur mentoring him and imparting his values despite his prior animosity towards Circe, Seth ends up becoming a much better person than his sister.
187	* ChildSoldiers: The Just Plain Tragic Type. [[spoiler:When Agrona gives out the order to begin his final assault, he conscripts ''every'' single Alacryan. Naturally despite not being an adult, Seth is forcibly conscripted on the pain of death]].
188	* AFoolAndHisNewMoneyAreSoonParted: Congratulations, Seth! Thanks to your sister's actions during the war, your family name has been promoted to highblood status. How unfortunate that just shortly after getting that promotion, [[spoiler:your parents got caught up in the destruction of the kingdom your late sister helped to conquer, leaving you alone to fend for yourself in Central Academy with your newfound status meaning absolutely nothing, especially to the bullies who have picked on you for so long]].
189	* {{Foreshadowing}}: His introduction has him mention that he wants to a mage, just like his sister. It turns out said sister is someone Arthur has animosity towards, namely the Sentry who spearheaded the invasion of Elenoir.
190	* MoralityPet: [[spoiler:Despite his prior animosity to Highblood Milview, Arthur comes to realize that Seth not only had nothing to do with their actions, but is experiencing the exact same hatred towards the Dicathians that he has exhibited towards the Alacryans. As such, his mentorship of him not only changes Seth's view on the Dicathians, but his own view on the Alacryans]].
191	* NerdGlasses: A highly intellectual student at Central Academy who wears glasses as well. Unsurprisingly he gets picked on by bullies for his interests.
192	* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: He is an intellectual and his glasses are a sign of it.
193	* SoleSurvivor: His sister Circe [[spoiler:died of her wounds and mana overuse upon completing her mission to build and broadcast a map of the enchanted, unnavigable Elshire Forest of Elenoir for the Alacryan army's invasion]], and his parents were killed when [[spoiler:Aldir destroyed Elenoir]].
194	* WhiteSheep: [[spoiler:His parents and sister were supporters of the Vritra, but thanks to Arthur's influence Seth ends up opposing them, especially as he views them as the ones responsible for their fates]].

197	[[folder:Mayla Fairweather]]
198	----
199	* ChildSoldiers: The Just Plain Tragic Type. [[spoiler:When Agrona gives out the order to begin his final assault, he conscripts ''every'' single Alacryan. Naturally despite not being an adult, Mayla is forcibly conscripted on the pain of death]].
200	* IChooseToStay: She is one of several individuals who [[spoiler:choose to leave Seris's rebellion and take up Agrona on his offer of clemency]]. In her case, it is because of her sister Loreni, who is living in Etril.
201	[[/folder]]
202
203	[[folder:Enola Frost]]
204	----
205	* ChildSoldiers: The Just Plain Tragic Type. [[spoiler:When Agrona gives out the order to begin his final assault, he conscripts ''every'' single Alacryan. Naturally despite not being an adult, Enola is forcibly conscripted on the pain of death. If that was not enough, she ends up dying a senseless death being forced to fight people who were supposed to be her allies]].
206	* [[spoiler:DroppedABridgeOnHer]]: [[spoiler:Gets suddenly killed during the second Siege of Vildorial. It happens in the spur of a moment and Seth barely has the time to register her death]].
207	* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: She has golden hair but is a sweet and genial individual.
208	* [[spoiler:KillTheCutie]]: Despite her kindhearted personality, [[spoiler:she is the first of Arthur's students to die after Agrona gives out his final order, as she is unceremoniously killed during the second Siege of Vildorial]].
209	* [[spoiler:NeckSnap]]: [[spoiler:In the second Siege of Vildorial, her head gets snapped sideways from a hammer blow]].
